Thruxton 2020

(Words by Colin Porter, photos by Chris Gage)

Waking up slumbering beasts after nine months of hibernation was never going to be easy and with new sets of Covid regulations in place getting racing going again has been a logistical challenge for Motorsport UK, our partners at Classic Sports Car Club and the JEC. So finally starting our season mid-summer at the high-speed Thruxton circuit it was a case of the familiar and the not so familiar, catching up with friends and the paddock banter we have missed so greatly in recent months. The wonderful commradery of JEC racing was shown by our drivers who for whatever reason were unable to race this weekend still turning out to support and 'spanner' for others in the paddock, the true spirit of JEC racing, and after so long it was a delight to finally say that JEC racing was back.
